ECB reduces rate to 3.75% across eurozone, putting it ahead of US Federal Reserve and Bank of England

Citing a sustained fall in inflation, the ECB said its deposit rate would be cut to 3.75% from a record high of 4%, putting it ahead of the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, which have yet to cut interest rates.
